Re: 2018 Olympics Discussion
We've actually got snow on the ground here just to help set the mood. Quite rare in Suffolk as we are at sea level and don't very often see snow. The farm all looks very pretty but we are due to thresh 3 trailers of straw today to supply a local thatcher, I'm going to get pretty cold but it's got to be done this week and today is the only day forecast to be dry.
Ah, just heard the 1940 Feild Marshall tractor start up, time to go to work.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I've got some fresh snow myself.............. the mood around here has been set for several months.

I'm sat on top of a trailer full of threshed straw right now waiting for the next batch to be brought up to the drum. The sun is shining and all the snow has disappeared.

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (Reuters) - Shares in South Korean casino and resort operators and construction firms spiked on Thursday, buoyed by expectations that Pyeongchang’s hosting of the 2018 Winter Olympics could pump tens of billions of dollars into the economy.

On the Seoul stock exchange, Seunghwa Premium Construction Co surged to its daily limit of 15 percent on expectations the builder might be involving in the construction of a highway to Pyeongchang.Hyundai Cement, which owns a resort in Gangwon Province, home to Pyeongchang, also surged 15 percent, while shares in casino operator Kangwon Land jumped as much as 9.5 percent.
